I've found that these sets work pretty well. That is, the tunes flow together well, and hopefully, give a little 'lift' at the transitions.

• As on the main page, you can click on the tune name to see the sheet music.


• The "Starting Notes" and "Starting Chords" columns give the notes and chords for the first two measures. The whole point of that is to help players make the transitions smoothly. In a session, if you can't quite remember how a tune starts, the transition suffers, and any 'punch' that might have been there is gone. Hopefully, this might help minimize that.


• The starting notes are given in a standard melody notation called "ABC format". There's a link below to the full explanation of ABC, but there's a lot more there than you really need here, so I have a short overview to cover just what you need to know for this site. (It's really simple)
